Help needed 're Planning minefield

[rules&rulers]

I must admit, I have no clue as to where the OP is in the purchase process. Its one thing to buy a property via an estate agent listing, your solicitors to miss every aspect of their job, its another to bid and place a deposit on a flat lease and then find out that all is not what it seems. Of course if it was incorrectly listed at auction and the OP can prove to a court that the seller deliberately misled him then he could seek damages, but the ts and cs of the auction almost certainly have some protection for them.

Hi,
Auction purchases are very different although some protection is available but this is very limited.

Well this could be my 1st and last property venture....I suppose will have to play it by ear and see what happens

Obviously a lot to learn and take on board. I just hoping it isn't an expensive lesson !!!

Just the word Auction conjures up visions of an oblivion wherein the same conversation is endlessly repeated, the same conversation is endlessly repeated.
